Autism Findings: Intensive Early Intervention Can Improve IQ, Language and Functioning

While the media and water cooler conversations are abuzz about unproven myths and pseudoscience about autism, people are often ignorant of the facts and real findings of science about what helps people with autism.

According to the research intensive intervention (educational and behavioral) can lead to significantly increased IQ. Children were significantly more advanced with language skills and daily living skills in comparison to a group of children receiving standard educational instruction. The intensive instruction included twenty five hours of home therapy a week. For more information about this study see the blog post on my blog site.
